Films like Matrix Reloaded, MI 1/2 etc are absurd and unimaginative.
Agree entirely. I mentioned above somewhere that the chases we have all mentioned have (mostly) been 'real' chases - not CGI ones that just ruin it.
Oh oh oh, Bad Boys 2. A bit of CGI but nevertheless a good car chase!

What one? The mortuary van one was cracking as was the final one on the hillside. I'd love to know how many H2's and Defenders that wrote off!
The Blues brothers is still a dark horse..great police chases...and creases me up every time too !!..
The driver WAS good but it`s long in the tooth now..

French Connection made number 3. Interesting story from the guys who did it. The termintor was 2nd and Bullitt 1st. Interview with Chad McQueen sitting next to a `stang. One of my favourites, though, was a leopard chasing a warthog. It ended with 3 warthogs chasing the leopard, and giving it a right hiding!

Ah I was thinking of the 575 vs car transporter, but the van one was also pretty good!
Now that was a proper destructive chase! "woooooooo! that one puckered up my butthole a lil bit"
Wasnt the M5 in ronin at a severe disadvantage though? Was being piloted by a chick.

I dont really rate the chase in Bullitt that highly. I know its legendary, just dont think that much of it.
It's the drama, the sound of that Ponys cherry bombs, the overrun induction roar, the throttle blips, the realisation that McQueen was doing it and digging it, the lack of speeded up film, the fact it was for real, the sublime and cool setting, the menace of the bad guys, the very cool and minimalist sound track that so suited the film.
Smokey and who?

Yes, fantastic. Anyone know what the score is on the third part of the trilogy?
